CDC and NCAA Team Up on Concussion Safety

Posted on January 28, 2011 by Tim Titolo

 I previously posted about local neuropsychologists working on educating players and coaches about brain injury.  Now the CDC is working with the NCAA.  Check this post if you or someone you know is involved in contact sports.

As you gear up for the big game, look for a new public service announcement (PSA) for concussion prevention airing at NCAA tournament sites.

CDC and NCAA teamed up to create the PSA and other concussion educational resources, including a video for student-athletes, posters for every NCAA sport, fact sheets, and concussion management plans for medical staff.

Tim - my passion is the treatment of the motor control and balance issues that are typically unrecognized with current sideline testing of athletes that lies insidiously as a nagging inability to recover cognitively, behaviorally, or physically. We need to talk about coordintating and helping these athletes.
